Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 408: Let’s starve you for three meals first!

"We are lamb and zucchini! If you eat ten, I will cook ten for you."

Dumplings… zucchini and lamb, Kosander thought it was new, is there such a way to eat it? Victoria did have dumplings, but they were filled with cheese, and he had never eaten meat-filled dumplings.

Maybe, this is how the saint eats, and I can be considered to have caught up with her this time!
"There's no need to go through so much trouble."

"You have to eat hot food. Not only you, but also other bishops should be called to eat, so that everyone can eat something hot!
Just have some dumplings and some wine, the more you eat, the more you have!

After eating dumplings, drink a bowl of dumpling soup, let’s enjoy the original soup and the original food.

While eating dumplings, let's talk about the anecdotes and stories of the saint's preaching. This is my belly - let's talk!"

Liu Yonglu was speaking with great joy, and Kosander, who was standing nearby, didn't want to spoil the saint's mood, so he could only nod repeatedly.

"Then, Your Excellency Saint Baran, it's settled. I'll call the other three bishops to have dumplings together tonight."

"Okay... but... just one thing. I can teach you all the Saint's teachings, but this cooking secret is a bit confidential... I need to ask the Saint whether I can teach it to you later.

This time, please don't arrange for anyone to help in the kitchen, can you do that?"

"Okay, I can promise."

Bishop Kosander misunderstood and thought that the saints' cooking involved the secret of the saints' immortality, so he nodded cautiously.

At dusk, Liu Yonglu lingered in the kitchen and then he slipped away...

The people who were following Millie Tang also received a notice from Bishop Kosander that no one was allowed to enter the kitchen during this period, so they consciously did not follow.

"Let's go, Mi Li'er. Time is running out. We can only hold out for two hours at most. Let's make it quick and decisive."

Millie Tang didn't have the time to care about what bad things Liu Yonglu was up to. She grabbed Liu Yonglu's sleeve and turned away.

Millie Tang has been busy these past two days. After all, she is an investigator by profession, and she knows exactly where these believers in the Holy See are patrolling and when their shifts change.

Moreover, the kitchen where the two were at the moment was already in the central area of ​​the Holy See, and there were not many people patrolling. As long as they got rid of the group of people who were following them, it would be relatively easy for them to move.

After several twists and turns, the two of them finally entered a warehouse.

Before entering, Millie Tang first looked up to observe the position of the moon, then took out something like a stargazer to confirm it.

"Yes, it's inside. This is one of the secret passages that matches Jone's clue."

"Secretly? Where? Why didn't I see it?"

"Dan Dao Dan Dao! It must be hidden. Stop talking nonsense and help me move that bag of carrots!"

Millie Tang squatted on the ground, wiping the dust from the floor tiles. The patterns and words on the tiles were not difficult for her. These were all clues pointing to the secret passage.

After Liu Yonglu moved a bag of potatoes away, Millie Tang walked to the corner, fumbled with her hands, and finally found the protruding brick.

She first carefully pulled out the wall tile, then took out a special long-handled tool from her bag and reached in. After making sure there was no danger, she pressed her entire face against the wall and reached in with her gloved right hand to press the switch inside.

A few seconds later, the secret passage appeared in front of the two.

"Wait a minute, don't go in yet."

Just as Liu Yonglu was about to go in, Millie Tang grabbed him:

"This shouldn't be the secret passage we're looking for. Even if it is, the things inside have already been taken away."

Millie Tang squatted on the ground and pointed at the gray soil that clearly showed signs of being trampled.

"With a one in four chance, it's normal to guess wrong. So how about we stop here today?"

Liu Yonglu didn't expect to find the right secret passage in one go, so he turned around and wanted to continue moving potatoes.

“Let’s go in and take a look. I’m sure this secret passage is not open to the public in the Holy See, but it is frequently used by people. Maybe there are some secrets hidden in it.

But we have to prepare in advance.”

Millie Tang lit the candles that she had prepared in advance, and also tied the prepared potion to a special belt.

Liu Yonglu didn't care anyway. Even if he was caught while exploring the secret passage, he would have something to say. After all, he was Saint Balan. He took out the black stone and walked in front, while stretching his other hand back to firmly grasp Milly Tang's hand.

The secret passage was longer than the two had imagined, but there was nothing noteworthy around it. The only thing that was certain was that not only had someone been to this secret passage, but it was also used frequently.

Millie Tang took out a roll of gauze from her bag, which was for emergency bandage in case of emergency. She tied a small duster with the gauze and cleaned up the traces of the two people's exploration as she walked.

At the end, there is a wall with murals carved on it.

It was a seaside village with fishing boats and villagers. The villagers were holding fishing nets and seemed to be preparing to go out to sea to fish.

"Can't open it, go back."

Millie Tang fumbled for a few times and found that the stone wall door was one-way and could only be opened from the other side, but there was nothing she could do about the secret passage.

"Look where it leads to."

"The bishops' chambers. I think it's Bishop Contaldo's."

Millie Tang clicked on the map:

"Let's go back first. Archbishop Kosander and his men will become suspicious if you leave for so long. So, what excuse did you give for coming out?"

……

In the living room of the Holy See, four bishops sat upright on chairs, waiting for Saint Balaam to serve them dumplings. The saint personally cooked for the believers, a plot that only appeared in religious fables.

I heard that the saint once washed the feet of Saint Bernus. The treatment I’m receiving tonight... I’m almost as good as a saint!
"Sorry, sorry, Mr. Kosander, how about we not eat dumplings..."

Liu Liu waited for about an hour before Liu Yonglu finally came out empty-handed. "It's okay, it's okay. Are you not used to the kitchen of the Holy See?"

Kosander and his companions were all bishops, well-mannered people. Although it was a bit disappointing that Saint Barlax showed up, they could not show it on their faces. No matter who they were angry with, they could not be angry with the saint.

“Making dumplings is too much trouble.

Today I just had a sudden impulse and I didn’t have time to make the filling.

And after preparing the stuffing, you have to knead the dough, make the skin, wrap it, and cook it. You are busy with the cooking and have no time to chat. Right?

Why don't we eat in the cafeteria today, and I'll make something easier tomorrow."

Liu Yonglu was thick-skinned. He was not afraid of this and continued to speak shamelessly:

"Let's have some rice and meatballs. How do you think?"

"Mr. Saint Baran, what is dry rice and meatballs?"

There was that honest man, Bishop Campion, who asked.

"Dry rice meatball soup, hey! Good rice, cooked in a small pot, it's so fragrant, these big mutton meatballs, add more seasonings, it's hot and delicious, how do you think?
Dry rice and meatballs!"

"Well, since His Excellency Saint Baran is in this mood, let's have some rice and make some meatballs."

If these bishops went to the kitchen to take a look, they would be so angry that their noses would be crooked. Liu Yonglu just put his weapons into the warehouse and did nothing.

"Then let's hurry up." Liu Yonglu said as he walked forward.

"Hurry...what are you doing?"

"Hurry up and eat! I'm already hungry after all this busy work."

Liu Yonglu took the four bishops to the cafeteria to eat some leftovers and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next day, Liu Yonglu followed the same prescription and invited these people to sit in the reception room. He then went into the kitchen and slipped away.

His luck was not good today. The secret passage he found was not the one pointed out by Qiao Nie's clue. An hour later, Liu Yonglu came back empty-handed and shaking his head!

"Everyone, everyone, why don't we just not eat dry rice and boiled meatballs!
As I was cooking, I kept muttering that this dish was not quite suitable.

Dry rice with meatballs is called soup rice. It's watery and when it becomes watery you feel full. But when you pee, you feel hungry again.

If you want to treat a few people to a meal, you still have to find something to satisfy their cravings!"

"Mr. Saint Baran...why don't we just forget about cooking..." Bishop Contaldo said flatteringly, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

"Forget it? How can I forget it?
To satisfy your craving, you need to stew meat and pancakes! Five catties of beef! Five catties of mutton, a fat hen, and a catty of chestnuts. This is called casserole stewed beef, braised chestnut chicken!
I'll try harder and make some screw-shaped pancakes, which I can tear into pieces and eat to pass the time!

After dinner, drink some coffee to get rid of the greasiness, and then have a good chat about what happened a thousand years ago when I was smoking and chatting with the old Saint Lady!"

Archbishop Kosander nodded. He was not greedy for Liu Yonglu's stewed meat pancakes, but he mainly wanted to hear about the saint!
The five old men rushed to the cafeteria again late in the evening. This time, the priest in charge of serving food in the cafeteria was thoughtful and reserved food for the five of them in advance. Finally, the high-ranking officials of the Holy See had a full meal.

The next day, the five people met again at the door of the living room, and the four bishops arrived first.

Bishop Lorraine was picking his teeth with a toothpick, Bishop Campion was holding a cup of black tea to get rid of the taste in his mouth, and Bishop Contaldo was more direct and came with a burp.

"Have you guys eaten yet?"

Archbishop Kosander asked in a low voice.

“Let’s prepare in advance. I received a revelation while reading the Holy Scriptures before going to bed last night. St. Baraan must have his own deep meaning for doing this.

This is a test for us.”

Father Campion, with a serious expression, performed the salute.

"Test? What test?"

"You still remember the story of the saint who traveled high up in the mountains to preach on the mountaintops... There is..."

"Shh... Saint Baran is coming..."

Liu Yonglu saw all the reactions of these people. It would be better for you to eat something in advance. In case the one in two probability of guessing it right again today, you will have to starve for another hour.

Unfortunately, the goddess of luck was obviously not on Liu Yonglu's side during this journey to find the secret passage, and he and Millie Tang returned home in disappointment again.

"Everyone, everyone, let's not eat stewed meat and pancakes!"

This time, before Liu Yonglu opened his mouth, Bishop Lorraine spoke first. Isn't it obvious enough that the saint came out empty-handed?

Liu Yonglu was shameless. He pretended not to hear and continued:

"This meat is not easy to chew. Some of you are older and have bad teeth so you can't chew it. How awkward!

Why don't we just make... steamed bread? Don't look down on this steamed bread, it's not easy to make!

I have to prepare glutinous rice flour, yellow rice flour, mung bean flour, chestnut flour, brown sugar, white sugar, green silk, red silk, almonds, melon seeds, walnuts, green plums, tangerine cakes, longan, melon strips, and a big egg. It's called steamed bread.

Actually, it is! The blessed land is in big trouble!

No matter how much money you have, there is nowhere to buy it!"

These bishops were so confused... they thought to themselves, we haven't done anything bad in our daily lives, is the Saint sending saints to punish us? Is she really going to starve us for a few meals?
Forget it, we'll just do whatever Saint Baraan says. All the cooks in the kitchen knew about it today, and they specially prepared food for the bishops and Saint Baraan. After Liu Yonglu had eaten his fill, he went back to sleep.

The next day, he said goodbye to several bishops and slipped out of the kitchen again. This time he was sure to be right, as there was only one secret passage left.

Millie Tang and Liu Yonglu walked into a small library, found the hidden pull lever and entered the secret passage.

But what they didn't know was that three minutes later a figure appeared in the library. He first lay on the ground to listen to the noise and then pulled the lever and also got into the secret passage!
